Tutorial for a chunk loader to keep farms running while you’re away would be great. Especially w/ slow ones like this where you don’t want to wait by it.
@@pumkin610 spawn chunks aren't always loaded. If you bothered to start smelting and then instantly go exploring you'd return only to find that your smelting ores or blocks in the spawn chunk simply stop and freeze in time until you return home to keep the chunks loaded again. That's a lie!
alternative rail powering tip I discovered on accident when I crafted the wrong rail the first go-round. If you use activator rails you can replace one of the powered rails on each side and you don't need to use levers or buttons. not sure if it's useful for anyone, but there ya go.
@wattles, you dont need that many hoppers to connect to each other when adding more layers, connect the main hopper for each level to a dispencer to shoot/drop them into the next hopper connected to another dropper/dispencer aiming down. Save some iron
If you put the solid block directly behind the observer with the redstone dust below that on a solid block, each piston would fire independently and not all at once. You'll get better rates.
@@loopyloomdesigns Put your piston down. Place the observer on top of the piston facing the same way. Put a solid block behind the observer and put redstone under that block. That should work.
... you Mind reader! I was literally about to search your channel for a good sugarcane farm tutorial! Crazy. Awesome. Love your tutorials, I use your farm tutorials in all of my worlds.
Sugar cane will be able to be planted on mud, meaning you can have a hopper block below each mud block and just infinitely improve the space efficiency of the farm (and the lag)
Umm, I don't know whether it'll make a difference on bedrock, but on Java, your farm will be WAY more efficient if you swap the redstone line with the blocks they are sitting on currently. There was a video (by Aristotle gaming I think was the name?) I saw that explained the reasoning for this. It causes only the piston below the observer that sent a signal to fire rather than firing the entire line. Each time sugarcane is broken, the random ticks that it needs to update/grow is reset, so if a piece was waiting to grow for all but the last tick and the entire piston line fires because another one grew before it, then you've just lost all that wait time.
What do you mean swap with the blocks they're sitting on? I'm not very well versed in redstone so I'm a bit confused by this wording. Do you mean place solid redstone blocks instead of regular blocks that the redstone line is sitting on?
@@ricketysticks So where he has the redstone line with the blocks they are sitting on currently, you would want to swap the vertical positions of those things, if that makes any more sense. The observer will power whatever is behind it, so instead of powering the block which then powers the entire redstone line above, the observer will power the redstone line which will only power the block above, therefore firing only one piston at a time instead of the whole line of pistons. Hopefully that makes more sense.
@@ricketysticks Also, keep in mind I am trying to explain someone else's design (because I'm a moron with redstone myself), and I sometimes have dyslexia issues, so there's always a chance I may have described something slightly backwards too.... best bet is to check out Aristotle gaming's channel.
on second before you uploaded this video I built a sugar can farm of my own and with a very similar design. I shared this video with my friend and it was very helpful. amazing vid
I should have paid more attention. I spent all of my iron lining the bottom of my farm with hoppers instead of making a hopper cart, and it didn't even work! 😭😭
I've played Minecraft on and off since 2012, played a fair bit of tekkit. But I've never been overly good at farms so I'd be grateful to see more tutorials. I do watch mumbo for his content but the guys a mile a minute 🤣
I couldn't figure out why mine wouldn't pick up the sugar cane and I figured out that I just used a regular minecart since he didn't say you needed one with a hopper (the materials pic was too small on my phone) so hopefully it will work now.
This is a funny coincidence. I was thinking to myself today. "I need to build a sugar cane farm." And then this popped up. I already know how to build one though, but the design is interesting.
I wish I had found this channel when I was initially starting minecraft. Found it pretty quickly... but my sugar cane farm is a lil' less than streamlined.
@@wattlesplays I thought so. With redstone torch towers you can trigger them no matter how many levels high you make them. I've had them stacked six high.
If you place blocks on the row below the pistons on the back with red stone and then place blocks on the back of the observers, it’ll trigger each one individually which is around 20% more efficient (faster) due to the cane not being reset when one go them grows to full growth. I’ll try and find the vid of the creator for that style of build
Does it need to grow outside (or with glass on the ceiling)? Ive got a well lit farm, indoors though, 3 air blocks above the 1st sugar cane and it just wont grow
Can you make a tutorial for making an xp farm using multiple spawners that are close together in a mineshaft? I've watched your videos about using 2 spawners but I have an area with 4 spawners that are fairly close together and I wanna use all of them
what tutorial would you like to see for minecraft 1.19?? 😄
Maybe a way to farm sculk? 👀
A Zombified Piglin dropped into sculk farm
Have u done a shulker farm?
Inspiration for building a trading centre didn't u do the same video over a year ago?
frog/toad farm :)

You could just build it in the chunks that are always loaded, i think they are spawn chunks
This would not work for sugar cane;
Plant growth is random tick based, which is effected by simulation distance

True
Not true for java edition. Source: my iron farm at spawn is always full when i return to spawn, despite emptying it before leaving spawn each time

I would absolutely love to see more of these quick farm tutorials
Agreed! With Bedrock
appreciate you making a vid that also applies to bedrock. Would love to watch a combo of vids for both games in the future.
So true! Bedrock!
this works on bedrock
@wattles, you dont need that many hoppers to connect to each other when adding more layers, connect the main hopper for each level to a dispencer to shoot/drop them into the next hopper connected to another dropper/dispencer aiming down. Save some iron
hopper, then dropper, into water elevator to move them... even less and faster, sever friendlier.
Literally yesterday was looking for something like this that was easily expandable. Thank you soooo much
Nice
Ya, same bro agreed
Basic blocks needed to create 1 level:
102 Cobblestone
41 Redstone
16 Quartz
73 Wood Planks (and ~128 building blocks (201 total))
41 Iron
16 Dirt
5 Sticks
6 Gold
16 Sugar Cane
1 Torch or Lamp
i wish i saw this comment sooner this took me like and hour and some change to build🥲
Thx
OMG LOVE THIS. I have hated farming sugarcane by hand for so long, plus having to make sure i get it all is a pain. This is epic, keep up the work
My man! Perfect timing wattles, been looking for a solid farm for paper, thank you
Nice Tyson
Perfect timing with this video, exactly what I was looking for! Thanks, wattles. :)

I might do that. Great tip!
Interesting
Good tip
Help. I can do it so every other one Individually goes out but the ones in between still trigger them all. How do I fix?
@@loopyloomdesigns Put your piston down. Place the observer on top of the piston facing the same way. Put a solid block behind the observer and put redstone under that block. That should work.
hello wattles i have been watching u for 2 years now but this is my first time being soo early to a vid :)
hi thank ya!!
... you Mind reader! I was literally about to search your channel for a good sugarcane farm tutorial! Crazy. Awesome. Love your tutorials, I use your farm tutorials in all of my worlds.
You should put solid block behind observers and redstone behind pistons to fire pistons individually for better rates
Interesting
Idk why you decided to release this information but thank you!
whenever the pistions breaks the sugarr cane it just sits there and the minecart doesent pick it up
0:40 man that farm looks amazing 🙂
Just what I needed for my realm. Thank you, Wattles.

Nice vid:)
@Î Àm ÇhrîsBB ×86 ?
Thanks wattles 🥳
🤝🤝
Agreed! More farm videos! 😁
Thank you for this! It’s so much better than the farm I had before with sugar cane spewing out everywhere and half landing in my hopper haha
Thank for the tutorials wattles they are so helpful
on second before you uploaded this video I built a sugar can farm of my own and with a very similar design. I shared this video with my friend and it was very helpful. amazing vid
Hoppers are kinda expensive, so to reduce iron and wood needed, you could use minecart un-loaders instead. Wayyy cheaper :)
I didn't think to hide the water UNDER the contraption. That saved a lot of room in my sugarcane hut!
I should have paid more attention. I spent all of my iron lining the bottom of my farm with hoppers instead of making a hopper cart, and it didn't even work! 😭😭
You can also make a sugar cane farm on a much larger scale with flying machines. Same with bamboo. Would you consider making a tutorial on that?
I've played Minecraft on and off since 2012, played a fair bit of tekkit. But I've never been overly good at farms so I'd be grateful to see more tutorials. I do watch mumbo for his content but the guys a mile a minute 🤣
Froglight farm pls

Does this work in 1.18? sugar cane doesnt go through the dirt.
I always love your monster farms, a quick tutorial to reference on your skeleton farms would be great
This is a great and easy to build farm, but you should definitely build more than one of them. One of these only drops about 32 sugarcane per hour.
I get 20...
This is a funny coincidence. I was thinking to myself today. "I need to build a sugar cane farm." And then this popped up. I already know how to build one though, but the design is interesting.
This works great, and I ensured it was entirely within my chunk and I'm in 1.19.2.
These videos is the thing we need
What’s the rate of the farm
I wish I had found this channel when I was initially starting minecraft. Found it pretty quickly... but my sugar cane farm is a lil' less than streamlined.
OMG!!!!! it really does work in bedrock. That's freaking AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks. A lot u helped me bulid a sugar cane farm in less than 30 mins
thank u AGAIN
Back to tutorials by wattles
oh yeah!
I just watched your old sugar cane farm video and built mine last night! Thanks for the update though! Now all I need to do is flip and double it.
Nice!
you make the best farms, so easy to make and cheap materials, also they work great
I like these tutorial videos we definitely need more of these tutorials from wattles
True! With Bedrock
Day 3 of asking wattles to make a dam in his survival world 3️⃣
👀👀
You can use normal hoppers under the sugar cane in 1.19 if the sugarcane is on mud
Bingo!
To make my sugarcane farms even easier, I use daylight sensors instead of observers. The pistons are triggered every morning.
Not a bad idea!
@@wattlesplays I thought so. With redstone torch towers you can trigger them no matter how many levels high you make them. I've had them stacked six high.
How are you? I love these videos!
I’m good thank u!
@@wattlesplays no problem!
SUGAR!!!!
*BTW... always read the description!*
It would be cool it he actually hearts viewers like you....
But then everyone will do the same if they found out 😅
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you
This was a great tutorial Wattles 👍🏻👍🏻
slowly becoming a devoted subscriber, love you sugarcane and iron farm.
thank ya!!
@@wattlesplays no problem man, you make some simple tutorials that work well.
Nice video wattles! ✅ Cool sugarcane farm! 😃
I've been meaning to build a sugar cane farm on the server I am playing on for a while now. I guess its time!
A fishing rod is my go-to tool for starting stopped minecarts
I'm on PE but it didnt work. The sugar cane doesnt appear in the chest!
Elongating it to make one big farm should work right? With repeaters?
you rock, this was simple to do for a red stone noob
This is my formal request for a creeper farm tutorial.
How does the sugarcane get deposited in the hopper minecart?
Bedrock sugar cane farms are usually designed with bonemeal in mind.
Yep. Can`t do that on Java though.
On bedrock collection system doesn't work anymore the mine cart goes round twice then stops I've had to resort to placing hoppers the whole way round
you might just need more powered rails!
Nice vid , i also made a sugar cane farm in my world it produces over 300+ per hour
Can you tell whats the avg rate per hr per layer?
Thanks Wattles
i did smaller version of it but the cart inst collecting the cane :(
Nice! ☺️
If you place blocks on the row below the pistons on the back with red stone and then place blocks on the back of the observers, it’ll trigger each one individually which is around 20% more efficient (faster) due to the cane not being reset when one go them grows to full growth. I’ll try and find the vid of the creator for that style of build
Also in this build there are no blowfly’s directly behind the piston just above and below (in the back)
If you build this really high up will your sugar can still grow when you are hanging out on ground level??
Nice
I'm honestly impressed by the time and effort you put into these videos, Keep it up. I also work very hard on my 100 days videos!
Self promo on another's work is not a great look friend.
@Î Àm ÇhrîsBB ×12 self promo on self promo, hmmm interesting...
@@6ProUp4 now that I can get behind lol
@@itmeurdad Just imagine someone advertised on that comment.
This is revolutionary. What’s an observer?
Ayyy thanks brooooo 💙💙
everything works as in 1.19 although you do have to move the chest under the 3 hoppers instead of beside. everything else works really nicely, thanks!
Crouch click when placing hoppers, this farm worked exactly as he showed. It went up so fast I barely had to pause the video.
Thanks brother
@Î Àm ÇhrîsBB ×86 bruh you didn’t upload anything please get out of my comments
I prefer to have a semiautomatic single sugarcane farm run on dispensed bonemeal with piston
I built one in my old Bedrock world. I`m a Java player, now. Bone mealing sugarcane doesn`t work on here
Only for us Bedrock players 😏
Java players doesn't want bonemealable sugarcane in their game.
What texture pack are you using for your glass?
Does it need to grow outside (or with glass on the ceiling)? Ive got a well lit farm, indoors though, 3 air blocks above the 1st sugar cane and it just wont grow
Watched about 30 secs of the video and said" yep i'm building that."
"Wagwan"-Steven Grant, Moon Knight 2022
"if you can afford staircases you dont have to put them" "youll need 16 hoppers, 16 pistons, redstone, hopper carts..."
Would this work for bamboo? I know water wouldn’t be needed
What’s up wattlesssss! 👋
Does ist work in 1.18?
thank you good sir
Would this be good as a bamboo farm if I make it taller maybe?
Thank you
ty
you should put a garden in episode #43
also, make a wheat farm next, I want an auto farm for the wheat, just get bored harvesting wheat
Thanks Bro
Can you make a tutorial for making an xp farm using multiple spawners that are close together in a mineshaft? I've watched your videos about using 2 spawners but I have an area with 4 spawners that are fairly close together and I wanna use all of them
May as well grow it with a build like this
Good tutorial. 😂😂😂😂😂
Tbh, that exact same farm would work for bamboo aswell
Fun fact this is also an bamboo farm if you replace the sugarcane with bamboo and you can remove the water too..
If u have enough flat space we can extend it as long as we can right?
absolutely
Couldnt you plant the sugarcane on the new Mud blocks, and just put a hopper line under it instead of the hopper minecart?
My mine cart keeps stopping and doesn’t react to the powered rails at all
